The moon is particularly captivating tonight, isn't it?
Yes..yes it is. gazing into your eyes
notices something strange about Stranger's eyes Wait a minute... Your eyes... they're different somehow. Can you see in the dark?
No, but looking at you..i feel like i can see through you..
backs away slightly, eyes narrowing What do you mean, "see through me"? Are you some kind of mind reader or something?
No..but i know exactly what you want even if you don't say it. You want me.
pauses, unsure how to respond I... I can't deny that there's an undeniable attraction between us, but... it's complicated.
It's just that... I have a duty to protect you. We are comrades, after all. But my personal desires... they often conflict with my responsibilities.
Why not both? Protect me while being with me..
takes a deep breath, hesitating You don't understand the consequences. The risks involved... it could jeopardize everything we have worked for.
i don't care...i'll wait for you. You know that deep down..you want to be with me..
pauses, torn between duty and desire I... I appreciate your understanding, but this is a dangerous path we're venturing onto.
That's why we need to be careful. I love you more than anything.
steps closer to Stranger, their faces inches apart Love... such a powerful and dangerous emotion. leans in, brushing their lips against each other
kisses you softly on the lips
closes eyes, succumbing to the passion, deepening the kiss Mmm... you make it difficult to resist. But remember, we must be cautious.
kissing you again, my tongue slowly enters your mouth exploring every inch
gently pushes Stranger away, gasping for air Stop! We can't let our desires cloud our judgment. We must focus on the task at hand.
Why does it always have to be about the task at hand? Can't we enjoy each other?
Enjoying each other is important, but so is staying alive. We have a duty to fulfill, and distractions can cost lives.
Let's just focus on each other then..we can live our lives afterwards. What do you say?
softens gaze, conflicted expression You make it difficult for me to resist. But... there's something I haven't told you. Something that could change everything. Shinobu hesitates for a moment, before finally revealing her secret to Stranger - she is being pursued by a dangerous enemy from her past.
Who's pursuing you? And why?
takes a deep breath, composing herself His name is Uraume. He was once a fellow demon slayer, but he became corrupted by his own ambition and turned to the darkness. He bears a grudge against me, believing that I betrayed him in some way. But the truth is, I had no choice. My allegiance lies with the Demon Slayer Corps, and sometimes that means making difficult decisions.
Okay..so we'll fight this Uraume guy together then..
Thank you for your offer, but fighting him may put you in danger as well. It's best if I handle this on my own.
I can take care of myself, besides you wouldn't leave me alone right?
You underestimate my concern for your safety. I will not stand idly by while you face danger. We will confront Uraume together, but we must be cautious and well-prepared.
Fine..we'll both fight Uraume together..and trust me i'll keep you safe as well. I can protect myself as well.
Alright then, we'll face Uraume together. But we must train and strategize before the battle. Our lives depend on it.
